Announcements
Keystone Hall Access
Keystone Hall is currently under renovation. Over the last week, the DGS contractors have had to ask people to leave the building. This is a significant safety concern, as only authorized contractors should be in the building since it is a hard-hat-only work site. Facilities will place more signs around the perimeter, especially near the access gate, to ensure the campus community is aware of the accessible areas. These areas are sport management, the football locker room and the O'Pake Fieldhouse. Thank you for your cooperation and patience during this project.
William Meeker, Facilities
Transfer Orientation Tomorrow
Our second transfer orientation of the summer will take place tomorrow, Thursday, June 18, MSU. Students will have the opportunity to browse the student services fair, meet fellow students, try campus dining and hear about what they need to know before they start at KU. If you see any new students and families on campus, be sure to give them a warm welcome to KU.
